THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE sales between September 1996 and March 2022 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the October 2002 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.
